"The GT roller coaster is a racing coaster, which will send two competing roller coaster carriages sprinting along twisting parallel tracks on a race to the finish line," said Ferrari in a statement. "Each coaster car is a replica of a Ferrari F430 Spider."

The cars might be new but the concept sure isn't. Cedar Point has a racing coaster thats been there for decades. Two old wood coasters run parallel to each other.

I remember the year that ride opened.
Over the years, I've probably ridden that one 50 times. It was still always a great ride.
